Hi! Slipping the November newsletter in on the last day of the month! :-) Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving! it was a beautiful, colorful fall day here in Charlottesville. Here are a few quick updates to share:

We have a FB group, open for anyone to post Applied Creativity-related links: the
Applied Creativity Network. Feel free to post anything you'd like to share there. For those new to this newsletter, there is also a
Creativity in Business FB group.

I'm delighted that in 2017 we offered four Creative Facilitation Series workshops (instead of the usual two as in past years), and happy to be continuing with the next two whole-brain Creative Facilitation workshops in January: (1) January 7, 2018 is the next
Creative Facilitation Using Improv & Storytelling 101 workshop in DC. (2) On January 14, 2018, there is a
Creative Facilitation 201 workshop in DC, and online coaching sessions, for anyone who has taken any of the the previous workshops in the CF series over the past 11 years.
In January, look for an announcement of new offerings in the series, as well as other new offerings. Exciting 2018 ahead!

Also, in 2018 we are bringing out all new Discovery Dialogues! Details will come in January. In the meantime, see below to get the current set of 16 for a special holiday super discount rate!

Wishing you much over the holidays for which to feel thankful! ~ Michelle
